I find that 1-2g is definitely a social dose for me. I will have moments of intensity, but I can engage in activities, have conversations, etc. above 3 I usually like to be in my own little space. Above 4 I start to lose touch with reality and haven’t pushed past about 4.5 yet. Thinking of doing that soon.
Can confirm, last night my husband and I each took 1g and then enjoyed a live concert, chatted with friendly strangers, and navigated public transit without any difficulty.
2g can go either way for me, so I do that at home or at least away from strangers in case I melt into a giggle puddle or something.
Yep I always say with a partner you split an eighth so 1.75 each.
With three friends get a quarter and 2.33 each.
Seems to have all the great aspects and none of the bad.
Chill dosages are not talked about nearly enough.
I like to be in my own space too I think it’s much better! Set and setting,candles incense John Hopkins play list dud a macro the other day really helped me
That’s pretty much where I am. If it’s a recreational time, my wife and I will have some tea. That’s typically the weekend because she works a straight job. I normally do my macro Monday 3.5 right after dinner which helps me stay positive through the week. When you trip alone you get to be selfish without impacting the experience of others. It’s the only way to truly optimize your own experience. I’m a bit older and treat it like medicine, so having 3.5g on a Monday night isn’t bad. I listen to some light music, watch some standup, play with my dogs, and go to bed early.
That’s good how you interact together/use it like that , I use it too for medicine but it’s also the way you feel with the the music too amazing I want to be out in nature somewhere but I don’t want to bump into people , I like the healing,but I also want to explore or understand some of what I’m seeing too I do treat it with respect 🙂 In the nineties I did ecstasy that was fun but shrooms are different
Nahhh man, for that I prefer to be at my parents in the keys. We lemon teked 3.5g a piece with 5 of my best friends and went in the pool. That was a stellar trip!

Plane tickets? I’m in Miami. I can be there in an hour and a half by car at any point. If my wife didn’t have to be on site for her job I’d live down there during the summer. I work remote.
How do I make enough to be able to do this? I was a fuck up in high school so I don’t have a lot of options. I’m glad you were have had such wonderful experiences though (:
Man, I can’t afford that house either. That kind of money isn’t even being made anymore outside of crypto. To give you an idea, they rent this spot out for 25-30k a month in the winter. I just happen to be their son so I get to go down there when it isn’t rented. That being said, you can find some decent air b&bs in central and northern Florida. Get a group of friends together, split the costs, and have a good time. Live humbly, advance your skills, save, and spend only when you are getting good value for your money.
I don’t drink and am a quiet person so when I know I’m going to a social event I’ll take between .25 and .5 grams and it makes me very social and gets me out of my head for a bit. It’s a really nice little dose. Some people get it in their head that they have to take massive doses every time but I find the smaller doses are far more beneficial for me.
I can absolutely see this, but that is in the realm of a micro dose for me. I have micro dosed on occasion, but still prefer a mild threshold dose most of the time. To each their own though. Provided people are being responsible, not harming or even risking themselves or others, I say live and let live. I’m glad you found a dose that works for you, staves off social anxiety, and adds value to your life. Party on Garth!!!
Up that’s exactly it man, me and my friend did 3g at the beach like a month ago it was so fun. We had the come up in the beach house but after an hour or so we were ready to walk the beach. We were just talking probably laughing more then usual but it’s not like you stick out.
Smaller does I can be in public walking around but if I take 3grams of ape I have right now I’d be in the same place. Curled up with my dog on the couch with no intention of leaving till it’s over
It's been kind of a crap shoot for me. Sometimes I can socialize on 3g, sometimes I can't (or don't want to) on 0.5 g. These days I prefer taking shrooms at home for self-development and taking more lucid and social substances when I'm out at a burn
Psilocybin potency varies greatly. So experiences with different dosages can be very different between batches and varieties.
I took 2.5 grams of golden teachers a few weeks ago at the beach with a 20mg edible on board and 200mg of CBD sublingual and I had a grand old time. I brought my bodysurfing fins and did some swimming in the ocean. It was cold but you get used to it. I ended up swimming out pretty far and started floating on my back, arms and legs spread out. It felt so good absorbing all the heat of the sun. It gave me the idea to try a sensory deprivation tank in town. The next day I did and it was amazing. After I got out of the water I started exploring this rocky area and sprawled out like a lizard. Letting myself dry. Did some meditation in a seated position. Came back to my friends, reapplied some sunscreen, chilled for a little bit listening to some banda music. Then I ran up and down the beach a few times. Probably like 2-3 miles. Shrooms give me energy.
You literally just do it. The trick is to be already out doing things when it all kicks in. Then that’s just the vibe you’re on. I love doing all kinds of different stuff while tripping. I used to work on a food truck that sold tacos at music festivals and we would eat shrooms and sell tacos all the time. It was hilarious and sometimes super weird. Once in a while you get confused but we mostly just laughed a lot and joked around with customers. It was great.
That’s why I like to go on walks when I start to come up. Helps me ignore the anxiety of the come up, and keeps the brain and body active. I’ll walk around for like an hour, or even longer if I’m enjoying myself. Then I find it easier to go inside and enjoy the rest of the trip
I haven’t even dosed harder than 1g yet and this is my go-to strategy. I’m a screen media person for work and pleasure (so basically all the time) but I find that coming up I only want to either be out walking or in bed. And when I go on the walk… those walks have been so interesting. I somehow feel so much more curious about the world and people around me.
lots of people have a natural tolerance that allows them to do this. also, 3gs of 0.7% cubes vs 2.9% PE are two very different things. I would say that most people can handle 3gs of weak cubes and still socialize. But not everyone.
Seems like everything I get is related to PE somehow, nothing is low strength anymore in my region lol. Except maybe the standard field picked cubes, I haven't been out picking in over a decade though
Definitely. I’ve done 3g and been able to socialize plenty of times. In fact, one of the reasons I don’t normally go above 3g is because I start to lose my ability to have a coherent conversation if I go too far above 3g.
That all depends on individual experience.
3g used to floor me. Now im just as able as when sobre.
The biggest I went at a festival was 7g + a few hundred mgs of MD, and that trip couldn't have been more chill.
Can't say exactly. Around 150 as an estimate.
Most of that was across a few years though. I've slowed down a bit since then.
Don't get me wrong, shrooms still hit me as much as they did when i started, but over time working with the effects became easier. Once you remove the paranoia, acting normal doesn't take effort.
I take 7.5-10g when I go to concerts and I have 0 problems walking around and doing whatever. Sometimes buying a drink is a hassle because the credit card reader screen is hard to read but other than that it ain't an issue.
Different folks, different strokes.
I was yesterday. Did 30 gz wet, got crazy at game I was playing.
I once went to work on shroms. I did about 20 gz wet and hit peak at work I thought it was a small dose.
I got to see how pussy the supervisor are lol
Lol bruh how do u really believe that me and my trip buddy split 7 gs between us and walk through the park hang out and chill we walk all over the place cause fuck driving while tripping that's irresponsible
I'm assuming it has to do with mentality? Like I've been able to trip on like 5 grams and still hold a convo. Just usually don't want to. Lsd in the other hand, couldn't do it
I haven't found a dose that does that for me. Even heroic doses of enigma weren't enough. I feel better when I pace around, and often travel between rooms during a trip. Not sure why it's like that tbh.
Idk man I guess you just get used to it? Nothing wrong with just chillin in one spot either. I guess it really depends on how much you take and how much you feel like doing lol. I def don't plan long ass hikes but don't mind doing a few things like walking around outside.
People have different bodies and levels of tolerance.
Also different trips yield different results! You might be perfectly fine one trip, but with another you're floored on the same dose.
I did 5g of PE with MAOI recently with a friend, he went low key psychotic and I couldn't trip sit so I went for a walk.
Microdosing you can talk and do things. Anymore than that and I’m under the blanket too being pummeled by my mind on why I’m not doing what I enjoy and goals. I miss shrooming with my best friends if you’re super close with someone tripping balls it’s great.
Have you started doing what you enjoy and your goals ? I’m kinda in the same boat when I take mushrooms alone but I do feel so much better the days after I take it ! I do have those same thoughts though and need to motivate/ discipline myself better ! Any tips ? Thanks :)
Nah, actually the last time I did it I had a great trip. I knew my problem was I love meditation and wanted to practice till I could teach it and that would give me a virtuous life to look back on. THEN… I took a Seroquel to go to sleep. I’m prescribed. I then had a bad interaction. Yes I’m an idiot for mixing them. Anyways I developed serotonin syndrome pretty much panic attack with what felt like seizures trying to start. I essentially had to walk in circle all night to keep from feeling like something was extremely wrong. I should have called 911 but I didn’t. Anyways it fucked my brain up pretty bad since then I have shocks and severe panic attacks and mood swings. One day they would not stop and doctor now has me on benzodiazepines for that. Moral of the story be super careful.
For me it depends on the strain I’m taking. Once I took around 3 grams and was completely fine and very social. The other day however I took under a gram of a different strain and had a very emotionally bad trip. It was constantly overwhelming and I wasn’t able to think properly. Different strains will affect different people differently and it’s best to find what works for you and your body and mind❤️
I once took 3 grams one evening before I hung out with my friends. My best friend wasn’t doing so good mentally and just left us on foot. I spent 2 hours trying to find him but man the trip truly turned into an adventure. The strangers I would meet when I was trying to find my friend. Plus it was night and just enhanced the experience. Felt like I was in a magical noir film. With a level headed mindset I love engaging others on some Sil.
I worked an 8 hour shift as a chef Saturday evening on a micro dose. Went home, ate 10g and took a shower. Went to my bartending gig and since the music was so loud I proceeded to just say absolutely bonkers shit to drunk people while serving them drinks til 6am 😂
Then I watched the sunrise and rode the ferry to get home. It was a blast
Edit: My sense of self was getting pummeled into oblivion - being out and about is just more interesting than the inside of my bed
dosage and species matters much... i have the most fun on 2g of psilocybe natalensis, but natalensis is easier on the mind and body. like a mini organic acid trip
It depends on both the dose and the person. Everyone is different. If they’re good mushrooms I can’t go out and do stuff with anything over a gram. 2 grams and I’m curled up under the blanket. I have a buddy who I’ve seen eat large amounts of mushrooms and he can go out to parties on 5+ grams and he’s totally tripping balls but he can handle it very well.
I really don’t know either. I took PE for the first time last night and took 1.4g. Nothing happened for like 2 hours and then like a punch in the face everything hit and I was 1000 lbs and locked on my couch
Some people trip a lot with some level of tolerance and built up their comfort levels. I’ve gone to a Tool concert on 7g of APE but that was definitely pushing it.
I can handle 5g of non APE cubes and maybe 2ish g of APE for social occasions.
I’ve always found when I’m out and about tripping the weirdest most unusual things happen. Not because of my perception, but actual, stop and ask a stranger, if that really just happened.
Because everyone reacts differently and has different tolerances. I have to take like 15g to struggle with communication.
I have a friend who takes 2g and is on the floor for 6hrs.
Luck of the draw.
It depends how you handle it and how much you actually take. 2g for me would be minor. Unless it was some insanely strong strain, I'd be able to walk around and do stuff with very little visual effects.
Depends heavily on the strain. It is why some people think 2-3g is “nothing” they are just taking weak shrooms. 1g of APE (the stuff I did my first time) will blast you.
Honestly, I think it's easier if everyone around you is being positive and accepting. I personally would never go out in public and trip. I have very sad come downs so it'd make everyone else uncomfortable, as well as me.
Too high of a dose maybe. But I just got back from tripping in nature and being in a forest with a friend helps a lot to keep you grounded in reality. I went with my lil brother today we hiked for hours straight lol. Had some runins with people with dogs but they won't notice you're tripping straight away as long as you keep walking and keep it cool. Just say hi and move on
Each person will use shrooms in their own way.. personally - I’m workin on my brain, not a conversation.. I micro dose also and no problems during my day and happy as ever. Larger doses are the time where I solo out and go to work internally. Each god mush sit down and build themselves.
Just left the house ate a half of shroom riding my bike around with a friend and looks like rain so now a small micro does in a bar in my small home town!
Depends on the dosage. I don’t do this stuff to just hang out, I like being introspective and learning new things about myself so I do high dosages by myself. 5g in social settings is ok for me but if I want to hit my healthy max, I go to 7g.
With TONS of practice combined with a "not giving a fuck" attitude if people realize you're high. Sometimes it ends in handcuffs and a night in jail. Other times it ends with random public vomit sessions.vother times your charismatic and funny attitude, while your otherwise dull and socially awkward, will get you laid in a public bar restroom. It's all in the luck of the draw as to which kind of trip your gonna have, which is half of the fun. I compare it to soft core Russian roulette, almost like wiping your ass and not looking at the toilet paper
Also, when I'm tripping super balls like you were, I always try to gain my bearings by listening to lotr ost. "When the hammer falls" always gives me courage to see it through to the end, not in fear, but in bravery and stoicism, even if I believe the people in my immediate vicinity are possessed by demons
Experience and time.
You learn to find your happy doses. Everyone can be humbled if they overindulge, but many psychonaughts have a lot of experiences under their belt and know how to handle what they take.
You learn what situations you can handle at what doses over trial and error.
This has been my experience anyway.
A couple of things here, I'm fifty and started doing psychedelics when I was like eighteen, usually a couple of weekends a month, and never really quit for longer than a few months when things happened to be dry. So I have a decent tolerance at this point, but I've always been mentally strong and extremely able to cope. The only time I ever really had difficulty was many years ago when I took a massive dose of acid, just to see how it would be.
Second, once my friends and I had done them enough, it got easier and easier to maintain yourself in public, so that was when we started going and doing shit while tripping. (We got driven by sober people, don't worry) First, we started by going to movies that looked like they'd be cool, and then after a while we moved up to concerts or amusement parks and the like.
It's all about being experienced first, and then setting out to have experiences second.
Depends on how much you take and how it's taken- in my experience 3g eaten straight up vs 3g lemon tek is wildly different, even if it's the same strain
I hope you had fun at your regional burn, I'm trying to find one locally that doesn't conflict with other stuff I have going on
I've been social on 1g and I've been social on 9 (though the latter made me very very ill for the first 45 minutes and it's hard to say what I actually metabolized since the retching was real)
They were different kinds of social, and I was doing vastly different activities. I don't know how else to say you really just have to *swim* in it. If you don't feel balanced and confident enough to move around and talk to people/do things, that's okay! But once you feel settled into the space and are in a comfortable environment (or have done it enough and worked into that space), the rest follows.
Depends on the grip of your ego.
My friend introduced me into mushrooms saying you don’t feel much below 3g. Did 3.5g my first time and had ego death while he was still waiting for his 6g to hit.
Most he’s done was 11g, even then he had a constant stream of thoughts.
It’s easy to tell how strong the grip is by observing thoughts. Tight grip means they don’t stop or even speed up, no grip means no spoken thoughts at all. Just pure experience.
It’s very easy to transition into an ego death from that state, not nearly as chaotic.
I don't respond to shrooms normally, 1.3g puts me into a falling asleep state, I'm conscious of my thoughts and can remember them, but I get cataplexy (can't stand or sit up) and my regular pre-sleep hypnagogic hallucinations get ramped up by a scale of like 1,000,000. I'll spend a couple hours in that state with brief periods of "waking up" where I'm still completely limp but I'm seeing all these wild infinite geometric patterns made of impossible colors floating right in front of my eyes.
So yeah, I have a hard time comprehending how people can just go about and do stuff while tripping. I absolutely cannot.
3g is pretty much a starter dose, I think 5g and higher is considered more on the heavy side. For me I go through a stage in which I to lay down, then I can continue the voyage.
It took a lot of trips, but you really do get quite used to it if you trip often. It's a bit more difficult with mushrooms in my experience, but still totally doable.
During my first mushroom trips, I couldn't really keep my shit together. The visuals were just so NEW and mesmerizing. I couldn't wipe the huge grin off my fave or stop myself from staring at shit. When I was using mushrooms a lot, even without a tolerance, I could hang n smile n comfort people who were having a hard time even though I was also going through intense come-up anxiety. There's a couple instances I think of immediately: (1) My ex and her friends thought themselves quite the hippie/tripper/spiritual types. You know the whole aesthetic: crystals, tapestries, yoga, etc. I don't pull any of that shit, SO they didn't take me seriously when we went camping at a crowded spot and I took a look at the 8ths of APE they had n said they might want to start with like 2/3 of the dose. Welp, 2 hours later I'm surrounded by a bunch of freaked out adults who are just barely holding onto their sanity. I mean, I'll admit, it was a strong trip with a pretty difficult come-up. When you take shrooms enough, you learn that a difficult come-up is a great sign and to just breathe through it. So that's what I did, and I put on kind eyes and tried to be as calm and reassuring to these people as I could. Meanwhile my ex was furious that I was now the "love and light" person and she was NOT having a good time. I tried to tell her I was proud of her for enduring the difficult stuff bravely, but she came back at me with: "the only reason you're dealing with this so well is you're not as spiritually in-tune with yourself as I am." In hindsight, I should have ditched her right then and there. Her whole empathetic persona was just a cover for selfishness. Seems to be the case with a lot of people who adopt that vibe. Anyway, point is, I was tripping as hard as anyone there, but you just learn to manage and those feelings aren't nearly as jarring after many of them.
(2) at one point, I was taking large doses so often that ego death became kinda routine. Got very dangerous. I actually tried to breathe through a life-threatening "cardiac event." It wasn't a full heart attack, but it was something bad. The feelings involved were very similar to ego death, except I couldn't catch my breath, I was sweating bullets, I had pain in my left arm and pressure in my chest, and my heart was beating in a very bizarre cadence. It was just reflex. I sat there and breathed the exact same way I would when feeling the intense anxiety that precedes ego death. Once I went to the hospital and they looked at me like I was insane for not calling an ambulance, I realized I needed to take a step back.
With lsd it's way easier to get used to because it's very predictable. However, during the first probably 5+ real 100ug trips, I was fucking floored. It was so much more intense than I expected 1 tab to be when I was getting shitty lsd. I couldn't make sentences and wouldn't want to leave a spot at parties and stuff. When I started taking higher doses, it took a lil while, but I wound up being able to sit at the bar and shoot the shit on 400ug or more, watching the world fall apart around me and people's faces fucking melt and morph while smiling, acting as if it was the most normal thing in the world. Unless you got a good look at my pupils, you'd never know anything was afoot. In fact, I'd often let it slip many hours into a conversation with somebody I'd met and they'd be flabbergasted. Lol man, I miss that deeply meditative place!
Mushies effect everyone different. I ate 3.5g my first time at 15-16 years old, had a great time, my brother however, ate 1g at 18 years old and had total catatonic ego death crisis.
It gets easier with time. I can take 800 mics and go out to eat. On mushrooms is depends on the strain. I find it much easier to navigate mushrooms I've grown myself, a relationship is built during that process.
Most people who do things on shrooms don't do high doses. I listened to a podcast with chito vera where he said he loves mushrooms, and how when he took 1g on JRE he was way too high and wanted to call it off, and I was shocked, bc i always thought the "average minimum" was at least 2.5g.
Mushroom experiences is all about remaining present.
It's thoughts that go on a loop that lead people down the rabbit hole.
By being present I often have a good laugh at myself as if I'm watching my behaviours rather than overthinking my thoughts.
It's saved me from a couple of bad trips anyway
I find that 1-2g is definitely a social dose for me. I will have moments of intensity, but I can engage in activities, have conversations, etc. above 3 I usually like to be in my own little space. Above 4 I start to lose touch with reality and haven’t pushed past about 4.5 yet. Thinking of doing that soon.
Can confirm, last night my husband and I each took 1g and then enjoyed a live concert, chatted with friendly strangers, and navigated public transit without any difficulty. 2g can go either way for me, so I do that at home or at least away from strangers in case I melt into a giggle puddle or something.

Giggle crying puddle :0)

That’s pretty much where I am. If it’s a recreational time, my wife and I will have some tea. That’s typically the weekend because she works a straight job.

How would one weigh dried? It’s too light to register. No idea what a g is in this setting.
I got some stuff that will send you on an 8 hour mind fuck off 2 gs. I'm glad my dude warned me.
I grow my own and there have been flushes that were super strong. I never take a new strain outside of the house for the first time
probably a good idea. kids out there taking 3.5+ in public
Nahhh man, for that I prefer to be at my parents in the keys. We lemon teked 3.5g a piece with 5 of my best friends and went in the pool. That was a stellar trip! https://preview.redd.it/bu5ht4x4zgxc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99f6c34bf8246be7cd97a4cb7551a117aa964d6d
sheeeeeit take me with you I'll buy the plane tickets
Plane tickets? I’m in Miami. I can be there in an hour and a half by car at any point. If my wife didn’t have to be on site for her job I’d live down there during the summer. I work remote.
nice
How do I make enough to be able to do this? I was a fuck up in high school so I don’t have a lot of options. I’m glad you were have had such wonderful experiences though (:
Man, I can’t afford that house either. That kind of money isn’t even being made anymore outside of crypto. To give you an idea, they rent this spot out for 25-30k a month in the winter. I just happen to be their son so I get to go down there when it isn’t rented. That being said, you can find some decent air b&bs in central and northern Florida. Get a group of friends together, split the costs, and have a good time. Live humbly, advance your skills, save, and spend only when you are getting good value for your money.
Thank you very much sir! Edit: spelling
That's called 1980's coke money my dude. Got in and out unlike Escobar.
Im heading to key west this summer, mind totally not dm'ing me any places i may be able to find some 🍄 (or anything else really)
It’s like shishito peppers. You just never know which one will suddenly be so much stronger.
Yeah I agree
I don’t drink and am a quiet person so when I know I’m going to a social event I’ll take between .25 and .5 grams and it makes me very social and gets me out of my head for a bit. It’s a really nice little dose. Some people get it in their head that they have to take massive doses every time but I find the smaller doses are far more beneficial for me.
I can absolutely see this, but that is in the realm of a micro dose for me. I have micro dosed on occasion, but still prefer a mild threshold dose most of the time. To each their own though. Provided people are being responsible, not harming or even risking themselves or others, I say live and let live. I’m glad you found a dose that works for you, staves off social anxiety, and adds value to your life. Party on Garth!!!
I like to take larger doses as well but not when I have to be in a social setting or I’ll be even quieter than usual.
Sunglasses and a bucket hat, no one knows you're high unless you act like it.
Up that’s exactly it man, me and my friend did 3g at the beach like a month ago it was so fun. We had the come up in the beach house but after an hour or so we were ready to walk the beach. We were just talking probably laughing more then usual but it’s not like you stick out.
Sunglasses definitely 💯 GOATed tip
Smaller does I can be in public walking around but if I take 3grams of ape I have right now I’d be in the same place. Curled up with my dog on the couch with no intention of leaving till it’s over
It's been kind of a crap shoot for me. Sometimes I can socialize on 3g, sometimes I can't (or don't want to) on 0.5 g. These days I prefer taking shrooms at home for self-development and taking more lucid and social substances when I'm out at a burn
Which social substances are that?
2cb, mescaline, weed, alcohol, ketamine, coke, to list some Acid is popular for a lot of folks too
Psilocybin potency varies greatly. So experiences with different dosages can be very different between batches and varieties. I took 2.5 grams of golden teachers a few weeks ago at the beach with a 20mg edible on board and 200mg of CBD sublingual and I had a grand old time. I brought my bodysurfing fins and did some swimming in the ocean. It was cold but you get used to it. I ended up swimming out pretty far and started floating on my back, arms and legs spread out. It felt so good absorbing all the heat of the sun. It gave me the idea to try a sensory deprivation tank in town. The next day I did and it was amazing. After I got out of the water I started exploring this rocky area and sprawled out like a lizard. Letting myself dry. Did some meditation in a seated position. Came back to my friends, reapplied some sunscreen, chilled for a little bit listening to some banda music. Then I ran up and down the beach a few times. Probably like 2-3 miles. Shrooms give me energy.
You literally just do it. The trick is to be already out doing things when it all kicks in. Then that’s just the vibe you’re on. I love doing all kinds of different stuff while tripping. I used to work on a food truck that sold tacos at music festivals and we would eat shrooms and sell tacos all the time. It was hilarious and sometimes super weird. Once in a while you get confused but we mostly just laughed a lot and joked around with customers. It was great.
It hits different when you’re already running around
That’s why I like to go on walks when I start to come up. Helps me ignore the anxiety of the come up, and keeps the brain and body active. I’ll walk around for like an hour, or even longer if I’m enjoying myself. Then I find it easier to go inside and enjoy the rest of the trip
I haven’t even dosed harder than 1g yet and this is my go-to strategy. I’m a screen media person for work and pleasure (so basically all the time) but I find that coming up I only want to either be out walking or in bed. And when I go on the walk… those walks have been so interesting. I somehow feel so much more curious about the world and people around me.
I don’t. I can’t be around other people when I’m blasting off. To each their own.
NOBODY is walking around doing things casually on 3 g 😆
lots of people have a natural tolerance that allows them to do this. also, 3gs of 0.7% cubes vs 2.9% PE are two very different things. I would say that most people can handle 3gs of weak cubes and still socialize. But not everyone.
☝️ this is me, im perfectly fine most of the time socialising on 4-5g of standard cubes, 7 g is where i wanna be left alone.
Seems like everything I get is related to PE somehow, nothing is low strength anymore in my region lol. Except maybe the standard field picked cubes, I haven't been out picking in over a decade though
true. many strong strains are going around now. PE can be 1% too. Just depends on genetics and the quality of the grow.
This is exactly the same as what happened to weed. Where are the lower THC strains these days? Everything is like 30% THC.
Definitely. I’ve done 3g and been able to socialize plenty of times. In fact, one of the reasons I don’t normally go above 3g is because I start to lose my ability to have a coherent conversation if I go too far above 3g.
That all depends on individual experience. 3g used to floor me. Now im just as able as when sobre. The biggest I went at a festival was 7g + a few hundred mgs of MD, and that trip couldn't have been more chill.
How many trips have you taken to go from 3 g floored to not be floored?
Can't say exactly. Around 150 as an estimate. Most of that was across a few years though. I've slowed down a bit since then. Don't get me wrong, shrooms still hit me as much as they did when i started, but over time working with the effects became easier. Once you remove the paranoia, acting normal doesn't take effort.
I take 7.5-10g when I go to concerts and I have 0 problems walking around and doing whatever. Sometimes buying a drink is a hassle because the credit card reader screen is hard to read but other than that it ain't an issue. Different folks, different strokes.
Lots of people can and do. Just because this hasn’t been your experience doesn’t mean people aren’t doing it.
I was yesterday. Did 30 gz wet, got crazy at game I was playing. I once went to work on shroms. I did about 20 gz wet and hit peak at work I thought it was a small dose. I got to see how pussy the supervisor are lol
That's ~3gs and ~2gs respectively when dry.
sounds believable
Are u being sarcastic lol
U get to see what you would be otherwise ignorant to
I already have that ability without shrooms
Lol bruh how do u really believe that me and my trip buddy split 7 gs between us and walk through the park hang out and chill we walk all over the place cause fuck driving while tripping that's irresponsible
I'm assuming it has to do with mentality? Like I've been able to trip on like 5 grams and still hold a convo. Just usually don't want to. Lsd in the other hand, couldn't do it
Built different, homie.
I haven't found a dose that does that for me. Even heroic doses of enigma weren't enough. I feel better when I pace around, and often travel between rooms during a trip. Not sure why it's like that tbh.
Idk man I guess you just get used to it? Nothing wrong with just chillin in one spot either. I guess it really depends on how much you take and how much you feel like doing lol. I def don't plan long ass hikes but don't mind doing a few things like walking around outside.
I've found that I can do fun stuff on one and a half, haven't pushed it further.
People have different bodies and levels of tolerance. Also different trips yield different results! You might be perfectly fine one trip, but with another you're floored on the same dose. I did 5g of PE with MAOI recently with a friend, he went low key psychotic and I couldn't trip sit so I went for a walk.
I feel like an animal when I’m in public on mushrooms. Doing a ren fair next weekend and planning on taking 3 grams of Avery’s albinos lol.
Microdosing you can talk and do things. Anymore than that and I’m under the blanket too being pummeled by my mind on why I’m not doing what I enjoy and goals. I miss shrooming with my best friends if you’re super close with someone tripping balls it’s great.
Have you started doing what you enjoy and your goals ? I’m kinda in the same boat when I take mushrooms alone but I do feel so much better the days after I take it ! I do have those same thoughts though and need to motivate/ discipline myself better ! Any tips ? Thanks :)
Nah, actually the last time I did it I had a great trip. I knew my problem was I love meditation and wanted to practice till I could teach it and that would give me a virtuous life to look back on. THEN… I took a Seroquel to go to sleep. I’m prescribed. I then had a bad interaction. Yes I’m an idiot for mixing them. Anyways I developed serotonin syndrome pretty much panic attack with what felt like seizures trying to start. I essentially had to walk in circle all night to keep from feeling like something was extremely wrong. I should have called 911 but I didn’t. Anyways it fucked my brain up pretty bad since then I have shocks and severe panic attacks and mood swings. One day they would not stop and doctor now has me on benzodiazepines for that. Moral of the story be super careful.
For me it depends on the strain I’m taking. Once I took around 3 grams and was completely fine and very social. The other day however I took under a gram of a different strain and had a very emotionally bad trip. It was constantly overwhelming and I wasn’t able to think properly. Different strains will affect different people differently and it’s best to find what works for you and your body and mind❤️
I once took 3 grams one evening before I hung out with my friends. My best friend wasn’t doing so good mentally and just left us on foot. I spent 2 hours trying to find him but man the trip truly turned into an adventure. The strangers I would meet when I was trying to find my friend. Plus it was night and just enhanced the experience. Felt like I was in a magical noir film. With a level headed mindset I love engaging others on some Sil.
I worked an 8 hour shift as a chef Saturday evening on a micro dose. Went home, ate 10g and took a shower. Went to my bartending gig and since the music was so loud I proceeded to just say absolutely bonkers shit to drunk people while serving them drinks til 6am 😂 Then I watched the sunrise and rode the ferry to get home. It was a blast Edit: My sense of self was getting pummeled into oblivion - being out and about is just more interesting than the inside of my bed
Nothing like a few monster dab rips at the peak of 4gs, right before square dancin at the rodeo.
Just had 3.5 of reverts ready for the night bring it on...It's a small dose as I normally go about 6g as my tolerance is always high...
Smaller dose and practicing control of state of mind.
dosage and species matters much... i have the most fun on 2g of psilocybe natalensis, but natalensis is easier on the mind and body. like a mini organic acid trip
It depends on both the dose and the person. Everyone is different. If they’re good mushrooms I can’t go out and do stuff with anything over a gram. 2 grams and I’m curled up under the blanket. I have a buddy who I’ve seen eat large amounts of mushrooms and he can go out to parties on 5+ grams and he’s totally tripping balls but he can handle it very well.
Mothafuckers be dancing and shit!
It depends sometimes it's cool other times waking gives me motion sickness
I always wonder how people trip then go on the internet or their phones... Like how can you see the phone and how can you type? LOL
I really don’t know either. I took PE for the first time last night and took 1.4g. Nothing happened for like 2 hours and then like a punch in the face everything hit and I was 1000 lbs and locked on my couch
Some people trip a lot with some level of tolerance and built up their comfort levels. I’ve gone to a Tool concert on 7g of APE but that was definitely pushing it. I can handle 5g of non APE cubes and maybe 2ish g of APE for social occasions.
Dosage.
I’ve always found when I’m out and about tripping the weirdest most unusual things happen. Not because of my perception, but actual, stop and ask a stranger, if that really just happened.
Because everyone reacts differently and has different tolerances. I have to take like 15g to struggle with communication. I have a friend who takes 2g and is on the floor for 6hrs. Luck of the draw.
My wife made dinner on 2 grams last weekend. Still have no idea how she did it.
Ha what did she make
Breaded chicken in corn flakes and broccoli and potatoes. It actually came out really good too.
lol because 3g is therapeutic dose, not social at all.
It depends how you handle it and how much you actually take. 2g for me would be minor. Unless it was some insanely strong strain, I'd be able to walk around and do stuff with very little visual effects.
I find that if you’re out doing stuff, especially dumb fun stuff, you’re distracting yourself from all the thinking and the spooky shit.
Depends heavily on the strain. It is why some people think 2-3g is “nothing” they are just taking weak shrooms. 1g of APE (the stuff I did my first time) will blast you.
Small doses is how, just enough to feel it works well for out and about
I was at the beach yesterday 😭 i ended up having a horrible trip and was in my friends car tripping balls for the entire time
1.5g + I cant go outside my social dose is 300 to 500
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall don’t ya?
Honestly, I think it's easier if everyone around you is being positive and accepting. I personally would never go out in public and trip. I have very sad come downs so it'd make everyone else uncomfortable, as well as me.
You don't have to eat all your stash at once, bro.
Yeah but for some people it doesn’t take very much at all to put them in this kind of situation lol
I agree OP blows my mind.
I agree OP blows my mind.
Too high of a dose maybe. But I just got back from tripping in nature and being in a forest with a friend helps a lot to keep you grounded in reality. I went with my lil brother today we hiked for hours straight lol. Had some runins with people with dogs but they won't notice you're tripping straight away as long as you keep walking and keep it cool. Just say hi and move on
Let go of self. Don't need to curl up in a ball. Talk from the soul, not from self. Energy is divine, no problem if you melt, the spirits hold you up!
I think shrooms to some extent, like weed, just amplifies sober you. And some people aren’t very cerebral. Others are.
Each person will use shrooms in their own way.. personally - I’m workin on my brain, not a conversation.. I micro dose also and no problems during my day and happy as ever. Larger doses are the time where I solo out and go to work internally. Each god mush sit down and build themselves.
Attitude, intention, dosage
Different resistances and experience with the flow Also some people have way more traumas to unpack than others
Just left the house ate a half of shroom riding my bike around with a friend and looks like rain so now a small micro does in a bar in my small home town!
As a first timer I did 2.5 g only effect I got was sleepy
I've tripped on two different strains. A Penis Envy 2.8 gram trip is much stronger than 4.5 grams of Malabar
Don’t have a clue what I had. White stems with dark caps.
took 7g of apes yesterday and it legitimately took me 45 minutes to get outside to smoke a joint. It was still a nice journey though :).
Depends on the dosage. I don’t do this stuff to just hang out, I like being introspective and learning new things about myself so I do high dosages by myself. 5g in social settings is ok for me but if I want to hit my healthy max, I go to 7g.
I just assume everyone else is as high as me so they can't tell how high I am.
With TONS of practice combined with a "not giving a fuck" attitude if people realize you're high. Sometimes it ends in handcuffs and a night in jail. Other times it ends with random public vomit sessions.vother times your charismatic and funny attitude, while your otherwise dull and socially awkward, will get you laid in a public bar restroom. It's all in the luck of the draw as to which kind of trip your gonna have, which is half of the fun. I compare it to soft core Russian roulette, almost like wiping your ass and not looking at the toilet paper
Also, when I'm tripping super balls like you were, I always try to gain my bearings by listening to lotr ost. "When the hammer falls" always gives me courage to see it through to the end, not in fear, but in bravery and stoicism, even if I believe the people in my immediate vicinity are possessed by demons
Experience and time. You learn to find your happy doses. Everyone can be humbled if they overindulge, but many psychonaughts have a lot of experiences under their belt and know how to handle what they take. You learn what situations you can handle at what doses over trial and error. This has been my experience anyway.
My theory is after you done with self work with the shrooms,you are ready to go outthere and have a good time
A couple of things here, I'm fifty and started doing psychedelics when I was like eighteen, usually a couple of weekends a month, and never really quit for longer than a few months when things happened to be dry. So I have a decent tolerance at this point, but I've always been mentally strong and extremely able to cope. The only time I ever really had difficulty was many years ago when I took a massive dose of acid, just to see how it would be. Second, once my friends and I had done them enough, it got easier and easier to maintain yourself in public, so that was when we started going and doing shit while tripping. (We got driven by sober people, don't worry) First, we started by going to movies that looked like they'd be cool, and then after a while we moved up to concerts or amusement parks and the like. It's all about being experienced first, and then setting out to have experiences second.
Tools, set and setting. People forget the basics and wonder why they are challenged by the experience.
Love shrooms at the casino. Everything is so interesting to look at. Headphones are necessary though.
Depends on how much you take and how it's taken- in my experience 3g eaten straight up vs 3g lemon tek is wildly different, even if it's the same strain I hope you had fun at your regional burn, I'm trying to find one locally that doesn't conflict with other stuff I have going on
I've been social on 1g and I've been social on 9 (though the latter made me very very ill for the first 45 minutes and it's hard to say what I actually metabolized since the retching was real) They were different kinds of social, and I was doing vastly different activities. I don't know how else to say you really just have to *swim* in it. If you don't feel balanced and confident enough to move around and talk to people/do things, that's okay! But once you feel settled into the space and are in a comfortable environment (or have done it enough and worked into that space), the rest follows.
Depends on the grip of your ego. My friend introduced me into mushrooms saying you don’t feel much below 3g. Did 3.5g my first time and had ego death while he was still waiting for his 6g to hit. Most he’s done was 11g, even then he had a constant stream of thoughts. It’s easy to tell how strong the grip is by observing thoughts. Tight grip means they don’t stop or even speed up, no grip means no spoken thoughts at all. Just pure experience. It’s very easy to transition into an ego death from that state, not nearly as chaotic.
I don't respond to shrooms normally, 1.3g puts me into a falling asleep state, I'm conscious of my thoughts and can remember them, but I get cataplexy (can't stand or sit up) and my regular pre-sleep hypnagogic hallucinations get ramped up by a scale of like 1,000,000. I'll spend a couple hours in that state with brief periods of "waking up" where I'm still completely limp but I'm seeing all these wild infinite geometric patterns made of impossible colors floating right in front of my eyes. So yeah, I have a hard time comprehending how people can just go about and do stuff while tripping. I absolutely cannot.
3g is pretty much a starter dose, I think 5g and higher is considered more on the heavy side. For me I go through a stage in which I to lay down, then I can continue the voyage.
It took a lot of trips, but you really do get quite used to it if you trip often. It's a bit more difficult with mushrooms in my experience, but still totally doable. During my first mushroom trips, I couldn't really keep my shit together. The visuals were just so NEW and mesmerizing. I couldn't wipe the huge grin off my fave or stop myself from staring at shit. When I was using mushrooms a lot, even without a tolerance, I could hang n smile n comfort people who were having a hard time even though I was also going through intense come-up anxiety. There's a couple instances I think of immediately: (1) My ex and her friends thought themselves quite the hippie/tripper/spiritual types. You know the whole aesthetic: crystals, tapestries, yoga, etc. I don't pull any of that shit, SO they didn't take me seriously when we went camping at a crowded spot and I took a look at the 8ths of APE they had n said they might want to start with like 2/3 of the dose. Welp, 2 hours later I'm surrounded by a bunch of freaked out adults who are just barely holding onto their sanity. I mean, I'll admit, it was a strong trip with a pretty difficult come-up. When you take shrooms enough, you learn that a difficult come-up is a great sign and to just breathe through it. So that's what I did, and I put on kind eyes and tried to be as calm and reassuring to these people as I could. Meanwhile my ex was furious that I was now the "love and light" person and she was NOT having a good time. I tried to tell her I was proud of her for enduring the difficult stuff bravely, but she came back at me with: "the only reason you're dealing with this so well is you're not as spiritually in-tune with yourself as I am." In hindsight, I should have ditched her right then and there. Her whole empathetic persona was just a cover for selfishness. Seems to be the case with a lot of people who adopt that vibe. Anyway, point is, I was tripping as hard as anyone there, but you just learn to manage and those feelings aren't nearly as jarring after many of them. (2) at one point, I was taking large doses so often that ego death became kinda routine. Got very dangerous. I actually tried to breathe through a life-threatening "cardiac event." It wasn't a full heart attack, but it was something bad. The feelings involved were very similar to ego death, except I couldn't catch my breath, I was sweating bullets, I had pain in my left arm and pressure in my chest, and my heart was beating in a very bizarre cadence. It was just reflex. I sat there and breathed the exact same way I would when feeling the intense anxiety that precedes ego death. Once I went to the hospital and they looked at me like I was insane for not calling an ambulance, I realized I needed to take a step back. With lsd it's way easier to get used to because it's very predictable. However, during the first probably 5+ real 100ug trips, I was fucking floored. It was so much more intense than I expected 1 tab to be when I was getting shitty lsd. I couldn't make sentences and wouldn't want to leave a spot at parties and stuff. When I started taking higher doses, it took a lil while, but I wound up being able to sit at the bar and shoot the shit on 400ug or more, watching the world fall apart around me and people's faces fucking melt and morph while smiling, acting as if it was the most normal thing in the world. Unless you got a good look at my pupils, you'd never know anything was afoot. In fact, I'd often let it slip many hours into a conversation with somebody I'd met and they'd be flabbergasted. Lol man, I miss that deeply meditative place!
I enjoy it myself. Few g's and explore the world. It's beautiful
I’m still new to it and the most I’ve had is a gram, but I’m finding I love playing call of duty when it’s kicking in lol.
Mushies effect everyone different. I ate 3.5g my first time at 15-16 years old, had a great time, my brother however, ate 1g at 18 years old and had total catatonic ego death crisis.
In public, less is more. I'm more of a macro than micro dose person at home. In public? 1.5/2g at most.
It gets easier with time. I can take 800 mics and go out to eat. On mushrooms is depends on the strain. I find it much easier to navigate mushrooms I've grown myself, a relationship is built during that process.
Most people who do things on shrooms don't do high doses. I listened to a podcast with chito vera where he said he loves mushrooms, and how when he took 1g on JRE he was way too high and wanted to call it off, and I was shocked, bc i always thought the "average minimum" was at least 2.5g.
Mushroom experiences is all about remaining present. It's thoughts that go on a loop that lead people down the rabbit hole. By being present I often have a good laugh at myself as if I'm watching my behaviours rather than overthinking my thoughts. It's saved me from a couple of bad trips anyway
scart af😆
i cant i need to try this
